2002 Holden Astra TS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Sporty and Functional"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fog lights blew very early on and ashtray hinge broke, although was quickly fixed under warranty by Holden.
Seats tend to be quite uncomfortable on long trips with most passengers complaining of back aches.
Cruise control stopped working for 3 weeks, but recommenced by itself.
General comments?
This car is very zippy around town and generally is very good on petrol on the open highway.
Has a roomy boot that can fit quite a bit of luggage.
